Am I the only one having problems signing new staff?
My board will only let me give £70 per week for a scouts and so far I've not found one willing to drop that low and I don't have any scouts and I don't start with a scout. I've still to start searching for a new ass man and coaches, so I'm certain that they'll be even harder to recruit.

I think that will make this challenge even harder as we won't find getting in good quality staff so early in the game.

In addition this year, for those of you who want to add to the database to make things more competitive at the top level in the long term, you can set the database level to custom to add the players for the top clubs in each continent. It should look like this. This is purely optional, but no extra players can be loaded on top of this, this is the limit.

Would it be possible to boost the rep of a team so they got promoted, then immediately return it to the proper level? Or would that have some grave repercussions in the game like ridiculous expectations?

Unfortunately it breaks the rules, we have always stuck to a strict no editors rule, whatever the circumstances.

Here's the squad and from what I can gather my best youth player. I can't get a best player yet as I don't have an assiatant manager. Squad is paper thin and we're predicted 22nd. Gonna be a long hard season I think. This is what it's all about.

Holidaying as i type, got Chipenham to the premier for the last year but then got stuck in an yoyo situation and in the end gave up, might go for them if they come up again.
Either way has to be a Sub 1000 rep team, its the only way real men play!

This is where I am as well. While in the past we could offer whatever our max was and they would accept, with negotiation we dont have this option. The assistant I really want wants 110/wk and i can only offer 95 It's only 15 difference! Can't I just spring for lunch one day a week to make up for it? I think its going to be just as fun when we start getting to players! Should make for a much tougher first few years.

I feel bad for the assistant i started with though. His only job so far is to filter out unrealistic possiblities for his replacement...

I found an ass man (John Durnin) who's half decent for this level, all he's lacking is tactical know how and discipline. I also eventually found a scout with 7 JP and 11 JPA (Lionel Meade) both are real people so they might sign for other small clubs.
So gone are the days of signing scouts with 13+ in JP and JPA, god help us all

For all those Gareth Bale moaners in GD and on the Tottenham thread. I just checked my players list and guess who is the 2nd most expensive player in the world at £35 million (a shiny penny for those who guess who's top)?

Me: Can we have a parent club in order to get good loans in?
Them: No we dont want to rely on loan players
Me: Think your underestimating how important this is
Them Ask as much as you want it wont happen! Now is there anything else?

Exactly the same for me except I tried the old "it'll be financially awesome" tactic. Didn't work either.

Ha I got the same when I asked however they told me 'If there is anything else you know where to find us'.

World Cup winner, Alan Ball, debuted under his father for the club back in 1959. Now I hope to emulate just this, have my son come through and go on to be a world cup winner. But, it’s highly unlikely. No less, I would like to produce some world cup winners in the distant future.

SQUAD

Admittedly, some of the players in the squad aren’t too bad – The best player, according to my current assistant is that of a 37 year old – 5 stars apparently. There is however, always the assurance that we have good bread on our team with a certain Mr Warbuton playing as a striker. In all, the squad is pretty thin – just one goalkeeper for example. The staff is, well, nonexistent. An assistant and a youth coach – both of which look pretty incapable of much. Time to get some people in.

EXPECTATIONS

The board are simply asking to make an attempt to avoid the drop zone, which the media think is a great possibility – pitching us to finish 21st, most likely behind Vauxhall Motors. Personally, I was hoping for a safe mid table position.

---Just want to wish everyone else good luck, and that I can upload my other save files (Marine, Tooting, Harrow, Ashton, Worksop etc) if need be.

Following the disastrous promotion of his favoured Boreham Wood last season, GreyedOutMan has chosen Tooting and Mitcham's Imperial Fields home in Morden as his new stomping ground. GreyedOutMan is said to be very excited about his new project, and hopes to bring unprecedented (ok, I know, not really Dafuge!) success to Tooting - who knows, he might get the Freedom OF Tooting one day! (No? Sorry, I'll get my coat). Updates to follow!
